'Students were crying in despair': Columbia professor slams school calling NYPD

In my era Vietnam Stop The War they used tear gas on us.

As a professor, and as a graduate of Columbia University, I am embarrassed to be a professor listening to this and other Columbia faculty.

The president needs to go. She completely mishandled these protests.

“Crying in despair.” Most of those kids have most likely never experienced anything that would cause despair. If this is the worst they ever experience then they will absolutely be alright.

Still nothing on last night’s “counter protest” at UCLA.

Doing everything you want without any consequences?! What do these students think? Colleges are out of control

blame game has begun...no one willing to take responsibility... when in reality everyone involved is responsible for the results of there actions or inaction......

Crying like a 5 year old being put in time out.

Free Americans from AIPAC

Apparently, these students have no concept of actions have consequences. Haven't heard one of these virtue signalers speak about the genocides going on in China, Burma, Ethiopia or, Sudan...That makes me think this isn't really to do with Gaza/Palestinians , it's just a way for entitled kids to have something to scream about. and a way to express their true antisemitic feelings. It's a shame they don't do their homework to know the full history like who the true indigenous people of Judea(the true name of what they refer to as Palestine)are, or that Judaism is a millennium older than Islam, or that many very poor Jewish people in Europe pooled their money to buy back some of the land in Judea(that was stolen from them), or that the name Palestinian is barely over a hundred years old and describes an amalgamation of various Arabs that wanted a title for political purposes. That most other Arab countries don't allow Palestinians into their countries That Egypt also shares a walled border with Gaza.. And that Palestinian "refugees" have been on the dole from UNRWA for 80 years non-stop, even though many have Jordanian citizenship. They spew phrases without knowing the historical meaning, or geography they refer to. I just can't figure out how they got into university, really......

Never been told no before. When the one who occupied the building demanded food I thought "The revolution will be catered?"

From the videos I've seen, I have to say the NYPD had every right to be there. The "protest" had descended into chaos, vandalism and lawlessness. Stop making excuses.

Listening to this makes me realize why students are going to be homeless unemployed adults thanks to these teachers. Save your money, parents.

They need to fire the president of Columbia University.

"Crying in despair?" Welcome to the Generation S (Snowflake) in college. The kind of pseudo-adults who get a windburned cheek in a strong breeze then cry "trauma" and "PTSD"...

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes...FJB the Manchurian president

Is this guy serious ? This tells you who is fuelling this or playing a role in it.

This is why “all protests MUST be off campus!” . .far away & televised!

Kent State....May 4th, 1970....

Very one-sided view, with a vague reference to scared Jewish kids at the very end.
